Try the links in the thread:

What is High Adventure?

 

I think it is what you are looking for

Check out the Blue Ridge Mountains Scout Reservation.

We just got back from High Knoll and are considering the Voyager trek in the future.

 

For units in the east, these programs are good, accessible and affordable.

From PA could you get to the Florida Sea Base? My California kids (we live in a VERY nice beach town) LOVED the Sea Base. What about a trip to Northern Tier? I'm not sure if the canoe trip was "the bom" or getting a greeting and their pictures on the Twin's Jumbo-tron during a Twin's baseball game. Or was the Axe models, in their Peter Gabriel costumes telling giving them samples and telling them they just couldn't resist a man in uniform...

 

Some of the adults held their breath so they wouldn't laugh out loud as these boys talked about how cool that was, and how they were going to buy this aftershave just as soon as they got home.

I see that you're in PA. Have you looked into the high-adventure camps offered by Cradle of Liberty Council? They are online at:

I know of troops in PA that go to Philmont and Sea Base. Also, in the mountain regions of PA, there are whitewater rafting opportunities, canoing, and backpacking.

Since Blue Ridge was already mentioned, I'll toss in Maine High Adventure Base on lake Matagammon....great wilderness canoeing with outstanding guides.....
